1986. All passenger car 5.0 V8s from 86 and up (SO or HO) were SEFI and roller cam equipped. DO NOT listen to what other people on the internet say about only HO 5.0s being roller engines. All 1986 and up passenger car 5.0s are roller cam engines. T-bird, Cougar, Mustang, Mark VII, Town Car, Crown Vic, Grand Marquis all had roller 5.0s from 86 and up.
